New title alert! 📣 Do/ Loss: A new way to move through change by Sue Deagle. Out May 2026.

Excited to announce that next spring we’ll be publishing by .deagle. Sue gave an incredible talk in 2024 all about loss. It was a stark but heartfelt reminder that we’re constantly facing losses of all kinds: redundancy, empty nesting, a marriage or relationship, our health, identity, the death of a loved one, or any other setback. Some losses we see coming, others completely blindside us.

Sue’s own loss was sudden and life-changing. With no roadmap, she turned to philosophers, scientists, even the military for guidance. The book will share her unique approach and the tools, strategies and mindset to provide a pathway through. Along with ways to support those close to us dealing with a loss.

Sue’s take is a positive one. She’ll show us how these rough transitions can become fertile soil for living fully, richly and more vibrantly - a different kind of great.

🌈 Thanks to who nailed this cover with his gritty rainbow. And swipe along for a sneak peek of the inside images from who spent a day wandering through the brutalist architecture at London’s finding shadows and light.

Do Loss: A new way to move through change is available to pre-order now from book retailers and is published 5th March 2026. 📚💫

👋 A brief intro for those of you new to Do Books. We’re an independent publishing company based in Hackney, east London and have been going for just over 10 years.
📚
We publish a collection of concise guides designed to inspire action and positive change across business, wellbeing, design and sustainable living. The books focus on the ‘doing’ not the background theory. So once you’ve finished reading, you can start doing.
🏃🏽‍♀️
Each book in the collection is written by an individual who has spoken or run a Do Workshop. ‘Do’ is a small magical event held on a family farm in west Wales. Over 4 days it brings together 20 of the world’s change makers, pioneers and experts so they can share their story - and inspire the rest of us to go and Do.
💫
For each book sold we pay two royalties: one to the author and another to the Do Lectures, to help them achieve their aim of creating positive change.
🙌
In terms of our production, we print on Munken, an FSC-certified paper - the mark of responsible forestry. You can now find Do Books in print, digital and audio formats in different countries and languages around the world.
🌎
We want every book we bring into the world to make a positive contribution. Whether that’s learning how to use your breath to reduce stress, how to build a purpose-led business, be a better leader, or design more beautiful products and services; or living more sustainably by growing your own veg, making ferments or a loaf of sourdough from scratch. We want the books to be useful, inspiring and genuinely help you, the reader, to get from where you are…to where you want to be.
➡️
We believe that the right book in the hands of the right person at the right time can be life changing. So, what would you like to Do next?
📚😊

Gut boosters and foods that fizz are a go!! 🫛🫙🫧 Happy publication day to Matthew and Nicola - is out today! 💫

We’ve so enjoyed working with these legends of the fermenting world. As they write:

‘Our journey into fermentation is rooted in the kitchen garden restaurant we ran for 13 years - The Ethicurean, nestled in a Somerset orchard… We’ve learned some genuinely nifty ways to perfect homemade fermented foods. And that simplicity is key. So, we’ve cherry-picked some simple fermenting principles from our experiences at the restaurant and from experimenting at home, which you can quickly master, each with limitless creative possibilities. Fermentation is a craft that can bewitch, enchant and delight. Start small, be guided by our experiences, and enjoy the process. Learn to trust the fizz.’

Swipe along for a look inside! Huge thanks to for the pickle cover, Wilf for the book design, for the beautiful photography (the little jar of Peackles is still a favourite), for PR, and for getting into the editorial nitty-gritty!

Available from today (16th in the US) in all bookshops and on our website. Hope you like it and happy fermenting!! 📚🥒

Do Team: Today we bid a fond farewell to after 9 years!!!

Anya joined as editorial assistant back in 2016. We were in a co-working space on Redchurch street with about 12 books in print and more on the way. She quickly got to grips with her 3 R’s - rights, royalties, reprints - and eventually, recordings, overseeing our audiobook production. She navigated a pandemic, two more office moves, countless events, and all manner of system/backend/technical shenanigans. She endured playlists on repeat and never once complained. And she got on brilliantly with all of our authors, freelancers and agents - always working with great care and diligence. Thank you for everything, Anya, we’ll miss you! Here’s to an exciting new chapter…

Swipe along for a few action shots - incl somehow managing to write and illustrate her own children’s books! 📚🫶
